The Investigation
Physical artifacts, financial threads, witness accounts, and documents from the night of the shooting. Not all of it is declassified. Not all of it points the same direction.
6 items available ยท 3 sealed
2:19 AM โ Compound Gate, East Wall
Single casing recovered 4.2 meters from the body. Consistent with a suppressed handgun. No fingerprints. No manufacturer markings. The suppressor suggests planning โ this wasn't impulse.
Cross-referenced from cell pings โ 72 hours prior
Cell tower data places Tamara Owens within three blocks of the compound on the night of the shooting. She left that radius at 1:51 AM โ 26 minutes before the shot was fired.
Claire Mendoza โ discovered during routine audit
A $2.3M transfer moved through three shell entities 48 hours before the shooting. The destination: dissolved within six hours of the shot. Claire found the ghost of it โ a rounding error that shouldn't exist.
Security audit โ 6 AM day of incident
The eastern compound camera was manually disabled at 2:09 AM โ eight minutes before the shot. Not a power failure. Not a technical fault. Someone with access codes cut the feed.
Informal โ passed through Shuffles
Strawberry places a vehicle she doesn't recognize โ dark, no plates โ parked on the north side of the compound between 1:30 and 2:30 AM. It left immediately after the shot. She didn't call it in. She told Shuffles.
Intercepted by Stacks โ parallel investigation
Jenko made seven phone calls between 2:00 AM and 2:45 AM โ the window of the shooting. Three to unregistered numbers. Two to known associates. Two to a number that has since been deactivated.
Roof access โ building adjacent to compound
A partially smoked cigar was recovered from the rooftop of the building directly east of the compound. The brand is rare โ imported, not widely available. DNA collection is pending.
Recovered from Bellator's private archive โ post-incident
A compiled dossier โ dates, transactions, decisions โ documenting DA Duvale's financial entanglement with Bellator's infrastructure over an eleven-year period. It was not hidden. It was filed.
Cross-referenced from household staff accounts
Sasha's movements between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM on the night of the shooting are unaccounted for. Household staff confirm she was present at dinner. No one can confirm where she was during the window.
